Paul Finebaum says Notre Dame will get 'destroyed' by Georgia
The No. 3 Georgia Bulldogs are a heavy favorite heading into Saturday's game against No. 7 Notre Dame. In some places, the line is as high as 14-points. And it appears the folks and Vegas aren't the only ones who think this game could be a runaway win for the Bulldogs. ESPN's Paul Finebaum, appearing on "Get Up",

As usual, Irish are overrated. Sports media and pollsters just love them. Always make them out to be more than they really are. I think UGA covers 14. And Irish will fall all of one spot in the polls, as a result.
I can't stand this rat poison. BTW, Jalen Hurts used that expression the other day.
I don't want these kids to be embarrassed on a national stage with everyone talking them up.
I truly believe Kirby is helping to keep their heads clear of all this noise.
If UGA plays its best game, yes, we can win convincingly. But we've got to show up!
I Don't know, and son't care about some perceived blow-out by the Dawgs, just win whether it be by 31 or just 1. If God forbid , the Dame wins, UGA's national title hopes will be a lot tougher to accomplish, as all the pollsters will drop drop them out of the top ten.
DawFan1980, I'm ok with that, as long as they stay at least one spot above the "undefeated" Gators.
If that happens..... #7 ND destroyed by #3 .... Just tells the world again how useless the media polls are this time of year.
That’s why we have the game Sat night. To see who is best
I think that if Georgia wins in dominant fashion, the national narrative will be that Notre Dame was grossly overrated, as opposed to Georgia being better than expected. That's one thing that I can't stand about ESPN, in particular. See LSU for example. LSU beats Texas, and all of a sudden LSU is going to the playoffs, LSU is beating Bama, etc., etc. ad-nauseum. That's never the case when Georgia gets wins like that.
Dawgs, don't listen to this rat poison. Beware !!!
I don't like all this hype, just go out and take care of the ball - businesslike. The players need to play as if they have alot to prove. Georgia will not get credit for what it should do, but what it does. Go get em and then move on to the next team. We do not have the luxury of some #1 teams that basically just have to show up because of their soft schedule, we are going to have to earn it.
Yeh well, Paul Finebaum also said Jeremy Pruitt was the perfect man for the UT job. In fact, Finebaum says quite a lot of things.
Call D-Con and tell them someone is selling their rat poison. Whether it's Finebaum or anyone else, the players absolutely CANNOT fall for this crap. They need to come out blazing and keep on firing until the final whistle. The coaches need to bring their A games as well. Know what they want to call and when they want to call it -- no **** timeouts because they don't have the right offensive or defensive play. And we fans need to show up early and be loud! We need to make Sanford truly a home field advantage for the Red and Black, both for our boys on the field as well as for fans all around the country who will be tuning in to see what SEC football is all about. Let's leave 'em talking about us like they did when we traveled to South Bend two years ago. Go Dawgs!
I don’t take anything Finebaum says seriously. He’s a talking head, paid to stir up controversy. He might be right in this case but I’d just rather avoid the rat poison for now.
I agree with Lowcountry, if the Dawgs win it's "Oh well, so what!" by the national media. However, should ND pull a rabbit out of the hat and find a way to win, the narrative will be, "The Irish are one of the all-time great teams!" That's just the way it is since nobody likes the new kid that starts taking attention from the old guard. No team has gotten more mileage from a win than Texas in the bowl game against a disinterested Dawg team. Dawgs show up and win that game, as they should have, and Texas isn't a blip on the radar this year.
